This sharp white cheddar hails from Australia, where it is made from pure milk taken from cows that graze on lush pastures swept by winds from the Southern Ocean. Produced at the Warmambool Cheese & Butter Factory, this premium cheddar is tangy, pale yellow and firm. Perfect to serve as a hors d'oeuvre with fruit or mixed into your favorite recipe for bacon-cheddar biscuits, this is a great cheese to have on hand for all your needs, snacking or culinary.

I bought this for a Cheddar tasting, to compare with Cheddars from England, Ireland and Vermont. The flavor is smooth and nutty, not too sharp. Not as rich or tangy as an English or Irish Cheddar, we found it almost identical to a Vermont or New York Cheddar. I would buy it again to use in recipes; it would be very good melted.

Great Ocean Road Australian Cheddar

I love this cheddar! It is so good with crackers that I often have it for a lunch along with an apple. I haven't tried the others yet but you can bet I'll get to them soon!

How sharp Cheddar should really taste (and cost)

Best cheddar cheese for the best price; the Aussies do it again. Mind you they learned from the Ex pats from the old world. It is now true to tradition as it should be.....mmmm...must get my next order in

A new friend from an unexpected place

We initially purchased this cheese to see what Australia has to offer in cheeses that are as "natural" as possible. We buy organic whenever possible (in Virginia it is sometimes a challenge). The description of how the cows are raised reminded me of my 8 years in Germany living in a small village. The farmers opened their farms to walkers and I became a favorite with their cows who ranged at will. I remember the first time I was licked by a cow! Since then I have been careful to see how the cows (or other being who produce the milk and cheese I buy) live. I believe I am accountable for their welfare. So, this cheese was an easy choice for me to try for the first time. When I eat it I think of those lush pastures and remember my German cow friends. Laugh if you wish, tho give this GREAT Great Ocean Road cheddar a chance. If we could do it justice we would buy the complete form. Alas, we are only two.

what a surprise

Lovely cheddar from an unexpected place! Pleasantly sharp tho creamy enough to slice easily without falling apart. We are finicky about our cheddar and will make this one a permanent choice.

Is this an extra aged Gouda? Amazing taste, lovely, nutty, and the melt point! What a beauty!

Great Ocean Road Cheddar

First time I tried this - and shared with my family. A mild cheddar that was very good on crackers (garlic, olive oil Triskets) and on an omelet the next morning. I would definitely order this again.
